Hey y’all, long time lurker first time poster…
wondering what your thoughts are on this.
I recently got hired at a large university (USA). My start date wasn’t for several weeks (during which I was still fulltime at my old company). During this period I was expected to attend an hour long orientation training, as well as turn in my employment forms (w4, etc), set up my work email account, set up two-factor authentication etc… I’ve run into a bunch of tech issues with my devices and it’s taken me hours to figure out. I have to go to an appointment with HR to turn in the forms and have no idea if i will be getting paid for that either. This is the highest level job I’ve had so far so I’m wondering if this is normal. I’ve always done this type of thing at the company and on the clock.
Thanks for your advice/comments.
